Ok, thanks for the clarification.

At the first glance, the resulting code with the kfifo API would look 
nicer. However, on one side, the current code was largely tested and it 
is running on a production system, on the other side the IIO framework 
will evolve with the cyclic DMA support and this driver would be 
converted to it when ready.

I can convert to kfifo but if it is changed again for the new IIO cyclic 
DMA, I'm not sure it is worth the effort.
